white privilege properly understood is not an assault on the White Race. More properly it could be defined as “white advantage”, the advantage a white person has in an interaction based on the color of skin.

Are you so brainwashed that you do not know that Whiteness is a recessive genetic trait?   How can we have white advantage when some generations in the future white people will cease to exist because we will all be homogenized into one dark skinned race?   Any real racist is betting on the losing team.   Any Black person that is not aware of this needs to wake up to reality.

I once told a racist coworker of a Science Fiction story I cobbled together on the spot.   Stealing from H. G. Wells' "In the Days of the Comet", I told him about a comet tail that the Earth passed through and made all White Men impotent due to their skin not being resistant to the comet's odd radiation spectrum.   When the scientists determined what had happened to the White birth rate, White men were begging Black men to take their daughters just so their progeny would not die out completely from history.   He was gobsmacked and agreed it was food for thought.   Racism is illogical and just more fake news.

Really? You actually think that when you and a random black person walk into a store one after another, that the two of you are NOT treated in any way differently?

You actually believe that people who tend to be in power tend to view white people more favorably than black people, on a subconscious level, and that they often consciously work to overcome this bias?

I still don’t get why people get upset to find that bias is in their favor, like it is their fault.

When I was young, I read a book “Black Like Me”. I don’t think it is in favor, but I remember learning a lot about how people perceive others.

And as I said in my previous note, it isn’t just skin shade, there are so many physical characteristics that tend to lead to bias, such as height.
